Mark Campbell and Stewart Dodd introduce Intermediate 1 – No Country.
As the largest state in the contiguous US, Texas is renowned for land, ranching, rodeo, guns and oil. Following our explorations of the Borscht Belt, Detroit, Salton Sea and Mississippi Delta, Intermediate 1 will this year make its final US fieldtrip through this petro-chemically indebted state whose land area is greater than any European country. Since the discovery of black gold in 1901 in the town of Beaumont, large swathes of the Texas landscape have been shaped and scarred by the oil-extraction industry, whose residual technological artefacts have interrupted the silence, heat and light of the American desert.
